Hello! I have this shared folder: namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/var/mail/public } It is accessible for all users in a specific group (mode 770, umask 0007). Users in that group should always be subscribed to all subfolders, so I did not use a different CONTROL for each user. All of our IMAP users were in that group, until now. I added a new user and she should not be able to access the public folder. She is not in the right group, so everything is okay, except that her e-mail client TRIES to open Public. It is because she is also subscribed to that folder. My question is: is it possible to have different control files for different groups of users? Having a different control file for each user would not be good for me, it would cause lot trouble. Having the same control file for all users is also bad, I would get many complaints because error messages would show up. In the worst case I can write a script that automatically subscribes everybody to the correct folders, but this would be very clumsy. Any ideas? Thanks, Laszlo

Any ideas?Actually, I think this is the better idea. I'm not 100% sure, but I know a lot of suggestions for crazy subscription stuff, is to have a simple script, that sits between dovecot and the imap "server", adding in a few extra subscription commands at the start of the session. I sometimes wonder if having some sort of "forced" subscriptions feature, for different groups, is needed, or maybe a plugin could be written? Problem is defining the groups, as you probably can't rely on filesystem groups. Tim -- Linux Counter user #273956 Don't email joeblogs at scouts.org.au
